Rasim al Ilalio doesn't mean to cause trouble wherever he goes, but a year of disasters lies in his wake.

But in the distant Shenryalan steppelands, a new threat emerges: not just human scheming, but magical beasts that have slumbered for centuri...

The safe, predictable life Rasim al Ilialio once knew is in shambles.

Small conspiracies to hold power all over the continent are leading to a terrible uprising against ...

Seamaster-born, Sunmaster-trained, R...

Disaster follows Rasim al Ilialio wherever he goes. Ilyaran witches are prized by the slaving countries that surround Rasim's peaceful desert home, but the city's magical prowess has always kept them safe. The Northlands, however, are not so forgiving, and a shocking raid shatters what remains of the already- shaken Seamasters' Guild. Now Rasim is torn between pursuing the truth behind the continent-wide plot he's discovered, or helping to...

Sheila Murphy writes of "The stasis I so love that tunes me to attunement, " yet Murphy has always defined the tune, tuned the tune. She has, since I have known her work in the mid-1980s, been the consummate poet, a "poet's poet" because her chords, her lines, her diction, syntax, and formal perfection serve as a model, and we learn.
